quickness

Nick | 07/20/2015 | 4

There are many ways to look at the concept of speed.  For instance, what speed means to a martial artist (or at least the kind of speed they focus on) is much different than what it means to a marathon runner.  Today’s workout will focus on the ability to move fast on our feet (running) for short distances that aren’t necessarily a straight shot.  Even though we’re just heading to the stop sign and back, there will be cars/bikes/people in our way most likely.  While this might seem like a nuisance, it is useful in our training today.  When you get back inside, the burpee box surmounts are really just asking you to get your body to the ground and then get it up and over your box.  Be fast, but be graceful and explore your options.  Once done, you get 40 seconds to gather yourself to be just as fast your next trip through.  Let’s move.
